Dispensing Pod

Dispensing Pod was removed from the game files, and is no longer obtainable.
It was included as placeholder content during early access, and replaced before full release

Dispensing Pod is an object found in Scifi Dungeons on tier 4 (Risky) and above planets. Scifi Dungeons appear on the surface as white metal pyramids that weaken the surrounding area's gravitational pull. Each one has a single Dispensing Pod within.

When interacted with, the dispensing pod will scatter Matter Blocks around the room and explode, dealing significant damage. You can double the amount of obtainable matter blocks by removing the background walls in the room. After a period of time, the dispensing pod will reset, allowing additional matter blocks to be harvested.

Using a mining tool on the pod will cause it to disappear and provide no matter blocks, since Dispensing Pods themselves are not lootable or spawnable.
